The tactic’s use is spreading as the GOP worries that presidential candidate Donald Trump’s poor showing in polls could translate to not capturing the White House and helping Democrats capture a Senate majority and erode GOP House control.
Thank you for joining us again. Clinton’s campaign has already dwarfed Trump’s in staffers and offices across the country. How much of an effect can you possibly have?
This Democratic edge in key states is evident in nearly every other big market for Senate races.
Obviously, it’s not a cheap date to be buying TV in the last couple of weeks.
Republicans entered the 2016 Senate races at a disadvantage, having to defend 24 seats to only 10 for Democrats.
Republicans now hold 54 of the Senate’s 100 seats. He’s in a close race.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Under Catherine Cortez Masto, it’s bad enough that an accused sex trafficker who forced a 16-year-old girl into prostitution ended up with a plea deal for a lesser charge.
But the RNC gets only 20 percent of the money that Trump raises online in conjunction with the party, while the vast majority of the big checks contributed to Trump Victory are routed to the party.
MONTAGNE: That’s pretty strong stuff.
Mayes has not endorsed Trump and says that although he will not vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, he has not yet decided whether he’ll vote for Trump.
Some say there could be violence and unrest if Trump followers believe he lost amid foul play. Trump’s tough talk on trade deals and immigration has appealed to blue-collar workers there, and in Ohio’s southern Appalachian region, where Trump ran better than home-state Gov. John Kasich in the March primary. The same aide said that in Pennsylvania, a swing state with a vulnerable Senate seat, incumbent Republican Pat Toomey has to “fight off dead weight at the top of the ticket”.
Democrats are clinging to this ONE for dear life, and in reality these next three rankings could probably go in any order.
“If you have a gender gap the size of the Snake River Canyon, why do you trot out Newt Gingrich, and [former NY mayor] Rudy Giuliani and your nominee to talk about it and further make it worse?” said Weaver, noting that all three men have been married three times.
In early September, when the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” were critical of Trump, he zeroed in on the female host, Mika Brzezinski, tweeting: “Just heard that insane and very dumb @morningmika had a mental breakdown while talking about me on the low ratings @Morning_Joe”.
This lone offensive opportunity looked a lot better for Republicans even weeks ago, but now the state’s blue leanings seem to be pulling this race the Democrats’ way.
“I absolutely do not approve of some of the things that Trump has said”, Viars said. McGinty has run far from a flawless campaign and has plenty of flaws as a candidate, but Toomey can only outperform Trump BY so much in this state, especially in the crucial Philadelphia suburbs.
Donald Trump rallies with supporters at the Million Air Orlando airplane hangar in Sanford, Florida. But he cautioned, “The easiest, most efficient, most effective way to defeat a Democratic candidate is to make that Democratic candidate unacceptable, unelectable”.
Courts first issued the consent decree forbidding the RNC from “engaging in so-called “ballot security” measures” in the early 1980s, when the party was caught attempting to interrogate and intimidate registered voters in predominantly African-American precincts in New Jersey. And we won’t equalize the resources in the end. The party has devoted a large share of the funds to pay for its national voter mobilization program to benefit the entire Republican ticket. Everybody’s doing their part.
The late burst of super PAC cash, for example, will result in Senate Leadership Fund ads in Las Vegas that cost exponentially more than what Cortez Masto pays.
LAW: Great to be on your show.
